As students embark on the journey to adulthood, understanding money management and personal financial planning is crucial for their success. Developing skills to manage money, set SMART financial goals, and make informed decisions equips students with essential competencies for a successful and independent future.
In line with this, students majoring in Finance and Risk Management, MSME Business School, Assumption University, conducted the Money Management Training: Personal Financial Planning for young learners:
- High school students (554 students, Grade 9) at Nawamintharachinuthit Triamudomsuksapattanakarn School (Nmr.T.U.P.), through both Thai and English sessions during December 2–3, 2024, 9:00–11:30
- Primary school students (80 students, Grade 4) at Assumption Samutprakarn School, through bilingual sessions on November 28, 2024, 12:30–15:30
This initiative promotes financial literacy at an early age, helping students gain confidence in making financial decisions, avoid common pitfalls, and build a strong foundation for future financial security.
By empowering the next generation with personal financial knowledge, Assumption University seeks to prepare students to manage money responsibly and confidently, fostering lifelong skills that contribute to individual and societal prosperity.
